Best orthodontics treatment
We can advise on the best orthodontics solutions to crooked teeth, usually using braces and aligners, of which there are many different options that your dentist will discuss with you in detail.
Early orthodontics treatment can help to guide the growth of the lower jaw, creating facial symmetry; correct bad oral habits such as thumb sucking; create room to guide permanent teeth into a more favourable position and reduce the treatment time with braces.
